Podcasts about veteran benefits

Leah breaks down everything veterans need to know about Parkinson's disease and VA disability, with a clear focus on ratings, connection, and benefits. She explains how Parkinson's disease can be service-connected through direct, presumptive, or secondary pathways—especially for those exposed to Agent Orange, burn pits, or toxic chemicals during military service. Leah covers how the VA rates Parkinson's (starting at 30% but often much higher when all symptoms are considered), what documentation is required to build a strong connection to service, and the wide range of benefits available—from monthly compensation to caregiver support, adaptive housing grants, and priority healthcare.

Did you know there might be life-changing benefits and financial advantages you're missing out on simply because you never asked, “What am I entitled to as a veteran?” In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg is joined by a very special guest—his father, Max Goldfarb. A Korean War veteran, practicing attorney of 67 years, and the self-proclaimed “King of Collection” in Florida, Max shares his journey navigating VA benefits, disability ratings, and advocating for himself and other vets. From his frontline experiences during the Korean War to receiving full VA disability and benefits, Max offers helpful advice for veterans who may not be aware of the support they're entitled to. Whether you're a veteran, have one in your family, or just love a story filled with wisdom, resilience, and humor, this episode is for you.

Use Advocates: Connect clients with dedicated veteran's advocates to maximize their claims—these professionals can make or break a complex case.

One thing I've noticed with the over 500 guests I've had on the podcast is that they're all relentless in their chosen pursuit. I've also noticed that all of them think they're too dumb (to some degree) to fail – meaning they realize how crucial it is to be stubborn and hard-headed enough to keep going when all the “smart” people would quit. My guest today, former Navy SEAL and founder of Born Primitive, Bear Handlon, is no exception. Today, Bear and I talk about cutting against the grain, why the VA is failing our veterans, why so many men are unwilling to take risks in their lives, how he would have done things differently, and when to burn the boats.

Send us a Text Message.No better person to explain the benefits you earned by serving than a former Undersecretary for Benefits at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs! In this episode, learn about the overlooked, misunderstood, and underutilized service benefits that often confuse veterans and prevent them from accessing support services. There are many ways we can get smarter about these processes. Let's use the power of community to ensure we understand all the resources. This conversation will go one step further than a traditional TAPS class, discussing how the VA works, how to access care, and what to do when faced with roadblocks. As the former Undersecretary for Benefits at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Dr. Paul Lawrence oversaw veterans benefits programs impacting nearly 3.9 million veterans and talked personally with thousands of veterans attending virtual townhalls during the COVID-19 pandemic. To help his fellow veterans better access the benefits that they are entitled to, after leaving the VA Dr. Lawrence wrote a book, “Veterans Benefits for You: Get what You Deserve,” which was published in 2023. It's a commonsense guide to help veterans and their families access a wide range of benefits. Dr. Lawrence has 30 years of experience working closely with government leaders and was twice selected by Federal Computer Week as one of the top 100 public service business leaders. Paul R. Lawrence was a Public Sector Vice President with Kaiser Associates. He was a Partner at Ernst & Young, a Vice President with Accenture, an Executive Director with the MITRE Corporation, a Vice President with IBM Business Consulting Services, and a Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mr. Lawrence earned his Master of Arts and Ph.D. in Economics from Virginia Tech.

Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses to Obtaining VA Disability for Jet Fuel Exposure is possible.Leah, explains the connection between jet fuel exposure and potential VA disability claims for veterans. She clarifies that while jet fuel exposure is not a disability, the medical conditions resulting from it can be. Various military roles, including those in the Air Force and others working on flight lines, might face exposure to different types of jet fuels like JP5, JP8, and Jet A. This exposure isn't limited to direct contact; it can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact, sometimes due to environmental contamination like at Camp Lejeune. Health issues from this exposure can range from neurological conditions, including a potential link to Parkinson's disease, to respiratory, liver, gastrointestinal issues, and possibly renal cancers. To file a VA disability claim, a veteran needs to establish a connection (Nexus) between their current medical condition and their service-related jet fuel exposure.

YHVHsHollyBaglio@protonmail.comYou can lose your Disability if you follow any movements or hairbrained crackpot schemes. Be careful! I am here to warn you because I almost found my self in serious trouble. Please learn from my mistakes and do not do the same. Please be cautious and speak to professionals before messing with your Disability Benefits, Veteran Benefits, Birth Certificate, and Social Security Card. Professionals would be Judges, the Social Security Agency, Accountants and Attornies at Law. Yes attornies at law can discuss these topics and they will not be disbarred! Do not be so silly and just take someone else's word for something they do not know themselves. These professionals would know about the laws and the very thing in which you are seeking to be educated in. If you are a researcher, please do not turn into what you are researching. Please do not be easily influenced by something or someone on the internet or off. Please use Discernment before jumping into anything. Do not rush or feel rushed with unnecessary urgency. If it sounds to good to be true then it is not true, except for what YESHUA did at the Cross. Please do not waste time on trying to find loopholes in efforts to place yourself outside the government, or above the law. Please use common sense and rational, critical thinking. Weigh pros and cons. Sleep on it. Ultimately the best way to persue anything and everything is to pray with fasting to YHVH in YESHUA's Name. Pray with fasting if you need an answer or are having confusion of any type. There is no one better to ask about everything than the man who created all of this. HIS name is YESHUA.

VETERANS OF THE ARMED FORCES ARE ENTITLED TO A BROAD RANGE OF BENEFITS PROVIDED BY THE V.A., HOWEVER MANY SERVICEMEMBERS ARE UNAWARE OF THESE BENEFITS. WELL, A NEW BOOK HOPES TO CHANGE THAT. WE SPEAK WITH DR. PAUL R. LAWRENCE, FORMER UNDER-SECRETARY FOR BENEFITS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, AND AUTHOR OF: “VETERANS BENEFITS FOR YOU: GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.”

Knowing how to effectively use your veteran benefits is a key part of post-military success. On this episode, we uncover how to navigate your benefits with help from Dr. Paul Lawrence. As a businessman, author and passionate veteran advocate, Dr. Lawrence served as the Under Secretary for Benefits at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs where he was in charge of the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and led a team of 25,000 people with an operating budget of $4 billion. Each year, he administered $120 billion in benefits to veterans. Dr. Lawrence wrote Veterans Benefits for You: Get What You Deserve, an easy-to-read, how-to guide, that was released on July 4, 2023. Paul served in the U.S. Army, having completed his ROTC requirement as an Airborne-qualified Captain. You can learn about the different benefits to which you are entitled by visiting https://www.va.gov, attending the Transition Assistance Program, utilizing veteran service organizations or by reading Dr. Lawrence's new book. The only way to initiate any veteran benefit is to apply for that benefit. While some applications are easy to navigate, others can be complicated. Dr. Lawrence advises veterans who think they don't deserve additional benefits to understand that benefits are not an entitlement, they are earned through one's service. For those seeking disability compensation, remember that as you age, conditions will get worse. It's easier to start the disability compensation process earlier, rather than later, because you often don't have the documentation you need, or the conditions can get more problematic. Even if a person applies for a benefit and is denied, there will still be a record on file. This is helpful when science advances and conditions can be attributed to exposure to certain chemicals for example. As a person ages, they can file a claim for increase. Dr. Paul encourages people to review their conditions every 3-5 years. One of the most utilized benefits is the GI Bill, a benefit that is not just for college. It can also be used for technical training and certifications. In addition, it is a benefit that can be transferred, while on duty, to a dependent. Many states have additional education benefits for veterans and their dependents. The home loan guarantee is another popular benefit. Veterans can purchase a home with no money down.  A benefit that is often underutilized is a safety net benefit called pension. If a veteran's assets and income fall below a certain level, and the veteran served during periods of war, then that person may qualify for a small pension. The veteran does not need to have served 20 years. It's not a lot of money, but it may be enough for someone on the cusp of homelessness. Another benefit that could be useful is life insurance. For those that are service disabled, it may be difficult to obtain life insurance for certain amounts. The VA has an insurance portfolio that should be considered. If someone is having issues accessing their benefits, reach out to a VSO. Many organizations will help you find a VSO, including Wounded Warrior, DAV, VFW or American Legion. Each state also funds VSOs.Subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://tinyurl.com/llforvets22.    You can connect with Paul on LinkedIn at:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drpaullawrence/Order Veterans Benefits for You: Get What You Deserve at: https://www.amazon.com/Veterans-Benefits-You-What-Deserve-ebook/dp/B0BGYD2B3KSUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A FIVE-STAR REVIEW and share this with other veterans who might need help as they transition from the military!

Hour Three: Veteran Sam Clovis joined the show to talk about recent legislation regarding VA benefits. Plus, a new surgery that would make you taller?

In Arellano v. McDonough, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Section 5110(b)(1) of the Veterans' Benefits Act is not subject to equitable tolling. The case involves the effective date of an award of disability compensation to a veteran of the United States military. Adolfo Arellano applied to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for disability compensation based on his psychiatric disorders approximately 30 years after his honorable discharge from the Navy. Arellano argued that his award's effective date should be governed by an exception in § 5110(b)(1), which makes the effective date the day following the date of the veteran's discharge or release if application is received within one year of such date. However, the Supreme Court held that equitably tolling the provision would depart from the terms that Congress "specifically provided."Support the show

Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7AM. In this episode, Leah emphasizes the importance of detailed communication between a patient and their healthcare provider, especially during compensation and pension (comp and pen) exams or regular check-ups. She suggests that patients keep a symptom diary, noting not just the pain or discomfort but also its nature (like stabbing, sharp, or dull), triggers, time of occurrence, and any factors that worsen or alleviate it. Leah stresses that this approach helps give a comprehensive picture to the healthcare provider, enabling them to understand the patient's condition better. This detailed documentation, which could be in various forms like online diaries, apps, or hand-written notes, is crucial for effective communication during the limited consultation time. Leah also mentions that understanding the frequency and duration of symptoms and their impact on daily life, both professionally and personally, is vital.Take control of your medical evidence related to your benefits and visit https://www.prestigeveteranmctx.com for more information and support.#veterans #va #medical #health * This Podcast episode is not medical or legal advice and should not be substituted for advisement from your VSO, accredited agent, or Attorney.#veterans #va #medical

Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7 AM. In this episode, Leah emphasizes the importance for veterans to seek assistance from accredited agents, attorneys, or Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) when filing VA disability claims. She points out that every county has a VSO, which is a free resource for veterans to help with initial claims or appeals. While VSOs vary in quality, veterans are not limited to those in their county and can find one that suits their needs. Additionally, Leah highlights that accredited agents and attorneys, unlike VSOs, usually charge a fee for their services, which is regulated by law. These professionals, who have undergone specific training, mainly assist with appeals rather than initial claims. Leah advises veterans to use va.gov to search for and verify the accreditation of agents and VSOs. Take control of your medical evidence related to your benefits and visit https://www.prestigeveteranmctx.com for more information and support.#veterans #va #medical
